Is the Sealer Compatible with the Decorative Surface Treatment You're Applying?Always check with the sealer manufacturer to verify the compatibility of its product with the decorative surface you plan to put it on. Some sealers may interact with certain overlays or coloring agents, resulting in unwanted side effects such as blistering, bubbling, or bleeding of color, according to Bob Harris, president of the Decorative Concrete Institute and author of a collection of training guides on decorative concrete. If you plan to apply sealer to an overlay or topping, Harris recommends checking with the overlay manufacturer for recommendations as to the appropriate sealer to use. Or better yet, take the "systems approach" and select the sealer the overlay manufacturer sells specifically for use with its products.
